IDB Invest, in collaboration with Inkaterra, a pioneering Peruvian-based hospitality group and leader in eco-tourism, announced the closing of a $17 million financing package. This strategic partnership aims to support Inkaterra’s growth and expansion, reinforcing the tourism sector across Peru. 

The project includes a $12 million loan to expand Inkaterra’s portfolio in Madre de Dios, located within the Peruvian Amazon. The funding will also enable the development of new properties in the Machu Picchu area and along the scenic northern coast of Cabo Blanco. In addition, IDB Invest will provide a $5 million revolving line of credit to enhance its working capital, with a particular focus on fostering stronger relationships with local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

The partnership supports key development objectives by promoting service exports, generating international tourism revenue, and creating formal employment opportunities in Peru’s hospitality sector. The initiative will particularly benefit remote areas such as Madre de Dios and Cabo Blanco, activating the local value chain in these regions and catalyzing economic development through increased tourism activity.

The financing will allow Inkaterra to expand its sustainable tourism practices. This approach is essential for maximizing the long-term economic and social potential of Peru's tourism sector. By expanding its operations, Inkaterra highlights its commitment to best practices and cultural preservation while simultaneously creating meaningful economic opportunities for local communities. 

This collaboration reaffirms IDB Invest's commitment to its Amazonia Forever initiative, which promotes responsible tourism in Latin America and the Caribbean and underscores the synergy between economic growth and sustainable development. It represents a significant investment opportunity in Peru's economically vulnerable areas, where financial returns are aligned with impactful social outcomes.
